Arena Americas Hits a High Note at the Governors Ball Music Festival

Arena Americas worked with the producers of the Governors Ball Music Festival to provide rental equipment for the 6th annual event held in June. The Governors Ball Music Festival is a three day event that takes place on Randall’s Island in New York City. It was launched in 2011 and features a variety of music styles, including rock, electronic, hip-hop, indie, pop, and more. Over 65 bands and musicians were scheduled to perform during the 2016 festival. The event also featured food by some of the best eateries, food trucks and chefs the city has to offer.

Arena supplied a 40m x 50m (132’ x 164’) clearspan structure on 5.4m (17’) legs for a side stage along with a custom double decker structure that was separated into cabanas for VIP ticket holders. The cabanas featured lounge seating, premium viewing of the main stage, food and beverage, access to VIP areas throughout the festival and private concierge service. Arena had four days to install both tents leading up to the event.
